Patient Participation Group

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients registered with Padgate Medical Centre who have no medical training but have an interest in the services provided.

The aim of the PPG is to represent patients' views and to work voluntarily and in partnership with the surgery to provide services that reflect what patients want and need.

We aim to gather patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to gain a truly representative sample.

Purpose

• To help in the planning, provision and delivery of local health care services and practice issues representing a patient's view and will be accountable to Padgate Medical Centre.

• It will form a link between the patients and Padgate Medical Centre, with a view to making a useful contribution to the improvement of existing services and help the Surgery to develop new services to meet and identify patients' needs.

• The PPG will work in close association with other SurgeryTeam members.
